Moreover, not long after Cao Cao left the big tent, an envoy came to report.

Yuan Shao summoned the envoy to ask, only to learn that Sun Jian led his troops to the north from Luyang, Jingzhou, connecting Xialiang County, Guangcheng Ju, and Yang Renju, and approached Daguguan, the southern gateway of Luoyang.

All the princes were excited when they heard this, and this was the first victory since the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao even stood up and waved his hand and said, “Wen Tai Xiaoyong, today Dong Zhuo will definitely send troops to Dagu Pass, I will just break through Zhongmu County in one fell swoop!” ”

“The alliance master is right!”

“Yes, this is a godsend!”

“A certain family is willing to be a pioneer!”

All the princes hurriedly expressed their position, grinding their fists and legs, wanting to do a big job.

But at this moment, another messenger came to report.

“Report! To repay the alliance master, Dong Zhuobu led Guo Zhuan to ride out of Hedong, cut off the grain road of our army in Jizhou, and General Pan Feng was killed in battle, and countless losses of ordnance, money, grain and wealth were lost! ”

“What?!!?”

All the princes exclaimed, and Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, asked again and again, “Then Guo Xiao has led an army into Jizhou?!” ”

Ling Envoy was stunned for a moment and shook his head, “I don’t know.” ”

When Han Fu heard this, he had to say to Yuan Shao, “Alliance Master, I must go back to Jizhou!” ”

Yuan Shao’s brows furrowed for a moment, but he still said, “Wen Jie leads the troops and horses of the headquarters to go first, and the grain road in Jizhou is the lifeblood of my ranks, if it is repeatedly disturbed and attacked by Dong Zhuo’s department, Yan and Yuzhou alone will not be able to supply the entire army.” ”

Saying that, he looked at Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, “Gongjie and lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to meet the Wen Festival with our 3,000 cavalry, if you can easily counterattack Hanoi County, it will be better.” ”

Han Fu was overjoyed, quickly praised the kindness, and then left the tent to straighten out the soldiers and horses and prepare to leave.

Wang Kuang, on the other hand, hesitated, Wang Kuang was originally Hanoi Taishou, but because of the corresponding Cao Cao’s edict, the alliance had not yet begun, and was driven out of Hanoi County by tens of thousands of troops brought by Huaxiong sent by Dong Zhuo.

Although Wang Kuang brought out tens of thousands of soldiers and horses when he fled, even with the 3,000 cavalry given by the alliance lord Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang did not dare to face Huaxiong, who had tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

However, soon Wang Kuang thought that Han Fu’s headquarters had 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, and if he added his own soldiers and horses, although it was unrealistic to fight back to Hanoi, it was possible to guarantee the grain road of Jizhou.

So Wang Kuang finally led the way.

With Wang Kuang’s departure, Yuan Shao ordered to intensify the offensive against Zhongmu County, and sent Yuan Shu back to Yuzhou to supervise grain and grass, and at the same time to deal with Sun Jian’s forces before the Great Valley Pass.

Yuan Shu also took the order quickly, and even wanted to return to Yuzhou immediately.

Of course, it was not that Yuan Shu was in a hurry to return to Yuzhou to supervise grain and grass, this kind of thing was enough for a few grain officials, but what really moved Yuan Shu’s heart was the merits of Sun Jianbu.

In essence, Sun Jian was a member of his Yuan Shu, and he Yuan Shu wanted to lead troops to share the credit with Sun Jian.

Even Yuan Shu was afraid that Sun Jian would attack Luoyang too quickly, and thus make great achievements and have nothing to do with him.

Sun Jian’s powerful Yuan Shu knows.

Not to mention that Sun Jian made great achievements in the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, that is, the Liangzhou Rebellion in the back, Sun Jian also showed great courage and made countless meritorious achievements, and the Changsha Rebellion in the back was personally pacified by Sun Jian leading the army.

Sun Jian is good at everything, the only thing that makes Yuan Shu dissatisfied is to do things recklessly, after pacifying the Changsha Rebellion that year, Sun Jian directly killed the then Jingzhou assassin Wang Ying, if it were not for the chaos of the dynasty at that time, Sun Jian would not be unpopular.

And this time when he was begging for the board alliance, Sun Jian led troops out of Changsha, and when passing through Nanyang, he forced Nanyang to kill Zhang Xuan.

If such a reckless man were not able to fight a good battle, Yuan Shu would not be willing to associate with him.

Now that he has listened to Sun Jian’s battlefield appearance, Yuan Shu certainly wants to get a piece of the pie….

……

Chang’an City Governance Office, Qin Bin took the tea soup presented by Tang Ji, took a sip, frowned, and said, “Wan’er, there is no need to prepare tea soup for me in the future, I don’t like this taste, just give me boiled water.” ”

“Oh.” Tang Ji hurriedly went to prepare, although I don’t know why His Royal Highness became dislike tea, but Tang Ji didn’t ask much, for her, listening to His Highness would definitely not be wrong.

Putting down the tea soup, Qin Bin shook his head and muttered to himself, “It seems that you have to find an opportunity to get the roasted tea out, now this tea soup with various seasonings is really not used to drinking… By the way, you also have to get the mass-produced paper out. ”

Qin Bin picked up a bamboo simple, weighed the weight, and shook his head a little helplessly.

Without thinking about this again, Qin Bin opened the bamboo simple and continued to look through the battle reports transmitted back from the front.

Chen Qingzhi and Qin Shubao fought Zhang Ji, and attacked with regular soldiers, defeated Zhang Jibu in one fell swoop, and captured Wuguan.

Zhang Ji led the remnants to withdraw from Wuguan and made a detour to Hongnong County.

After thinking about it, Qin Bin put a pen on the blank bamboo Jane.

Let Qin Shubao bring half of the white-robed army back in case of a change on Huangfu Song’s side.

After all, it has been several days, and Lu Zhi has not heard from him back.

As for Chen Qingzhi, Qin Bin asked him to temporarily garrison Wuguan to guard against the threat from the Jingzhou side.

At the same time, a group of basic officials who emerged from the system were sent to assist Chen Qingzhi in rectifying the internal affairs of the city near Wuguan, and to increase the intensity of accepting displaced people.

Even Qin Bin emphasized in the order that Chen Qingzhi would expand the scope of accepting displaced refugees to the entire south.

No matter the cost, there is no need to save money and food, and do your best to get the population so as to enrich Jing Zhaoyin.

After dealing with Wuguan’s affairs, Qin Bin looked at the battle report sent back by Wei Rui again.

Zuo Feng Yi had a total of thirteen counties, and in just a few days, Wei Rui had captured nine counties, and now Zuo Feng Yi’s strategy had also reached the end of the moment.

But after thinking about it, Qin Bin also understood that this was not only because of Wei Rui’s own strong ability, but also because Zuo Feng Yidi was sparsely populated.

According to the war report sent back by Wei Rui and the file of Zuo Feng Yizhi’s office, Qin Bin learned that Zuo Feng Yi had a population of only 1340,000 at this time because of natural and man-made disasters over the years.

You must know that Zuo Feng Yi is a county-level jurisdiction, and now there is only a population of more than 100,000, which shows how decayed it is.

It seems that for a long time to come, the focus of Guanzhong domestic affairs will be on the population.

Putting down the war report sent back by Wei Rui, Qin Bin picked up the edict sent by Luoyang again.

This was handed over by the envoy sent by Meng Huan a few days ago, saying that it was the edict of the Son of Heaven, rather than Dong Zhuo’s meaning.

The content of the edict was also very simple, that is, to ask Qin Bin to send an envoy to escort tribute to Luoyang to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven.

Before Qin Bin glanced at this edict, he understood what Dong Zhuo wanted to do.

It is nothing more than wanting to strike a truce between the two militaries, or even form an alliance.

Without thinking about it, he knew that the pressure on Dong Zhuo was too much pressure from the Kanto princes.

However, Qin Bin still pressed and did not make a statement for the time being.

Because he wanted to take all the counties west of Hangu Pass and south of Liangzhou, he and Dong Zhuo resigned.

After all, these counties now belong to Dong Zhuo’s forces, and if they stop fighting now, then Qin Bin will not be able to send troops to attack casually.

And now, Jing Zhaoyin has taken it all, and Zuo Feng Yi is also a fat meat to the mouth, just right Fufeng and Hongnong County.

Once all of Youfufeng and Hongnong County were taken, the Guanzhong region west of Hangu Pass and south of Liangzhou would all belong to Qin Bin.

Right Fufeng can’t move for the time being, at least wait for Lu Zhi’s news, if Huangfu Song is persuaded by Lu Zhi to vote, then everyone is happy.

If Huangfu Song supported the army to stand on his own, or maintained a neutral attitude, then Qin Bin did not mind branding Huangfu Song as a faction of Dong Zhuo and teaching him to be a man.

As for Hongnong County, Qin Bin could send troops to attack, but he thought that he could use this to trade with Dong Zhuo.

After thinking about it, Qin Bin wrote down a tribute gift list and a strike condition, and sent an envoy to Luoyang quickly.

When the gift documents were delivered to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had not yet gone to Tiger Prison Pass, and he received Qin Bin’s messenger.

After looking at Qin Bin’s tribute list and the conditions for the strike, Dong Zhuo’s expression was very surprised, and after a moment of silence, Dong Zhuo asked Qin Bin’s envoy to go down to receive the reward, and ordered his subordinates to wait for him.

Then he found Li Ru and had a secret conversation with him.

After Li Ru saw the conditions for the strike and the gift list, he was also very surprised, and after a little thought, Li Ru said, “Eun Xiang, it should be true if you think about it.” King Hongnong was very thoughtful and sincere. ”

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, nodded and said, “Yes, according to what is written in the document and what the messenger said, King Hongnong will take one million stone of grain as a tribute and escort it to the outside of Hangu Pass, and then our people stationed in Hongnong County will bring it back to Luoyang.

And King Hongnong only needs Hongnong County and Princess Wannian, and once he hands over Hongnong County and Princess Wannian, King Hongnong agrees to strike the two families. ”

Li Ruzuoyi said, “Enxiang, Hongnong County has a population of less than 200,000 and a vast land sparsely populated, and in our current situation, if we can exchange it for one million stone grain, we will not lose.

What’s more, the Kwantung princes besieged Luoyang, and we only had the grain road left in Union Prefecture, but the Union Prefecture was barren, and it was impossible to supply our troops for consumption.

Now that the war is tense and the consumption of food and grass is increasing, if we have an extra million stone of grain, we will have a greater chance of winning.

As for the Wannian Princess, she is only a ten-year-old child, and it is nothing to give to King Hongnong.

I think that King Hongnong also attaches great importance to family affection, the first emperor only has two sons and one daughter, and the situation of the Son of Heaven is special, but the princess of Wannian is irrelevant.

Once this is done, we can also transfer the elite of Hongnong County back to Luoyang, at this time, the troops of Zhongmu County are tight, and the Great Valley Pass is also in danger, and support is needed. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, agreeing with Li Ru’s statement, but then said, “Then King Hongnong can really take out a million stone grain?” ”

Li Ru shook his head, “I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter, when the time comes, let Li Zhiran pay attention when receiving the grain, if it’s true, everyone will be happy.” If it is false, our situation will not be worse.

Besides, if King Hongnong really wants us to fight with the gate family, he will not make a move against us at this time, and even find ways to enhance our strength.

This million stone grain sent by King Hongnong must mean this. ”

“So, promise him.” Dong Zhuo was very unwilling in his heart, but unfortunately, at present, he has no better way to break the game, and even the back road back to Liangzhou has been cut off, so he can’t retreat to the more barren Hezhou, right?

Therefore, now Dong Zhuo can only grit his teeth and fight to see if he can kill a way to survive under the broken cauldron…
